Hello and welcome!
My plan is to dedicate this channel mostly to fountain pens, drawing with ink and showcasing the fountain pens that I make.
From time to time I might also have some fun with dip pens, pencils, and or even ballpoint pens if I get the opportunity to do so - but my main focus will be drawing with fountain pens or making fountain pens.
I am planning to upload at least 1 video per week, specifically on Saturday at 12:00 pm EST.
GIVEAWAY
Planning to do giveaways with the fountain pens that I am making whenever I will be reaching 1000 subscribers. So please subscribe if you want to have the chance of winning one of my fountain pens.
If you need to contact me, please see the "Channel details" section below and click on the "View email address" button.
Thank you and I wish you a wonderful day or night, wherever you are!

Your mic is too "boomy", to much bass or something. Just FYI.
Sorry about that - hope it wasn't too bad on your end. It sounds OK on my setup but I will try and finesse it over time. Thanks!
Wow.
Thanks!
@eugenborcan and I do not mean the pen. It is nice but it is just a pen.
@ Thank you!
The more pens I have, the more I realize how useful the VP design is. Don't get me wrong, I still love all types of FPs. But the click mechanism just makes one use it more often than not. Jinhao has been releasing more and more variants for the 10. It's greeting really crazy over their production line there in China 😂
That is true - complexity in built, simplicity in use. I like that they are trying to play catch up with their version of pens and I like the different colors they have so far. Seems like they are very popular as well - sellers seems to be constantly out of stock on some of the colors they put out.
Glad I could help my friend. I wish I could do more. No one needs another me anywhere. 😂 But we do need a you. These clickable fountain pens are a little strange. I feel a certain way when I use a fountain pen and this would kind of remove some of that feeling for me I think. I thought the drawing was going a completely different direction when you started and I was interested but the end result was great. Good start to the new year! 👍🏻
You do more than plenty my friend - we need you more than you realize, don't sell yourself short! Thank you!
Mda, clonele Parker Sonnet, Duke 209, Baoer 388, Hero 5020 și probabil mai sunt si altele ! 😀😀😀 Am toate trei stilourile și dintre cele trei clone, Hero 5020 mie unul îmi place cel mai mult cum scrie si cum sunt construite, eu am și Parker Sonnet varianta cu clip cromat și întradevăr scrie bine , la fel de bine ca și Hero 5020 aș zice. Însă eu unul de la Parker îmi place mai mult cum scrie Parker IM , decît Parker Sonnet .
Hero, istoric, intodeauna au facut cele mai bune clone pentru stilourile Parker. Imi place Parker IM, in special versiunea care o am - imi plac elementele de design care sunt pe capac si corp.
I have both Pilot Vanishing Points and Majohn A1's in my collection and initially decided to skip the Jinhao A10. But, when I saw their deep blue I decided to give it a try. After all, it is under $15 USD. It is way better than I expected. It writes really well and the mechanism is smooth and trouble-free. There are a few inks I would hesitate to put into a grail pen, like Noodler's Baystate Blue, that I could easily justify for a sub $15 pen. Not at all disappointed! I agree with your observation that the insert also is tighter in the barrel than in the A! (A@ or A3). It is likely the next retractable fountain pen I get and it will probably be red.
The blue version is a beauty. And they keep coming with new colors. I will most probably end up getting a new one soon as well.
I have two of these pens. I really like them, but I have had issues with nib dryout. Have you had that issue?
Not with the copy that I have. But then again I used the ink inside of it pretty quick and never ended leaving on a shelf for more than 2 days.
I have the red one, lovely pen.
Lovely indeed! :)
Eu unul am de un an un Majohn A1 varianta metalică argintie in stilul Guilloche , sincer e un stilou foarte bun care scrie foarte bine și cu ocazia asta am aflat și că nu sunt printre cei care au o problemă cu pozitionarea neobișnuită a clipurilor la stilouri de genul capless . Așa că am făcut pasul următor și am achizitionat un stilou Pilot Caples Graphite Red RHT cu peniță medie, pe care tocmai l-am primit acum o oră și care observ că este un stilou foarte ok , dar ca senzatile la scris este foarte aprope de Majohn A1 .
In teorie, Majohn A1 a copiat Pilot so senzatia care o simti este Pilot original 😄. So Majohn au facut o copie foarte decenta, nici o plangere din punctul ala de vedere. In final, toate 3 sunt stilouri foarte bune. Pilot Capless este un pic mai decent insa din punct de vedere al fabricatiei insa. Imi plac toate. Mersi frumos pentru împărtășirea experienței care o ai! ❤.
Oh no now I know about color leads for my mechanical pencil. I did not know that was a thing.
They are quite fun to be honest - I was pleasantly surprised when I found out about them!
That is a skillful ink drawing. Many years ago, I used pen and ink, but my attempts were pitiful compared to yours. It is cool that you know so much about pens. I will look at some of your other drawings.
Thank you! Honestly, is just a matter of practice and sticking to it. If you look at my first drawings when I started this channel (after an absence of 15 years or so of no drawing), compared with what I do today, the drawings are fairly bad I would say. Never to late to start again ;)!
I got this at a japan surplus store for like 10 PHP or cheaper but I dont know where I would get the ink 😭 I checked it through on google lens and I saw it on sale in ebay for 110 dollars which is like 6.4K PHP which is crazy. Now I am wondering where and how much will I get the ink cartridge 😭
Congrats on your find! If what you have found is a genuine MontBlanc 320 then this fountain pen is not using ink cartridges. This fountain pen is what they call a piston filler. You twist the end of the barrel and the piston inside should move up and down freely. You can use any safe fountain pen ink - like Waterman, MontBlanc, Parker, Iroshizuku, Diamine, etc. Just get bottles not ink cartridges.
@@eugenborcan oohh okay thank you so much! im planning to bring it to school today because my friend has an ink bottle and i want to test it out from there. Thank you for the tips man! I think its a genuine montblanc 320 cuz I checked the engravings like on the nib, it says 585, the ring between the body and the cap, it says"Montblanc" "320" "Germany", and it has that snow symbol of Montblanc's on the cap and on the bottom of the pen. I am so happy with my find XD
The green and gold is lovely.
Thank you!
Pete said to check you out. Happy New Year to you.
Thank you for checking me out. Hope you enjoy your stay!
Is the nib made of solid gold or just plated?
It looks gold like but is not gold or plated as far as I know.
What ink is that?? Can u recommend me some fast drying ink pls
That is an ink that I got from AliExpress, called "Banmi Waterproof Blue". For fast drying inks, have a look at JetPens' website - they have a pretty good list: www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Best-Fast-Drying-Fountain-Pen-Inks/pt/896
I really like the ink. Do you know how I can order some?
This ink was ordered from AliExpress and there is no brand name attached to it. I can give you a link to where I got it from (no affiliation) but it looks like they have changed their setup a little. Based on the colors swatches I see there, color #5 seems to be the same as what I used for this drawing. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002228357432.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.211.2f641802n1IJhL
@ thanks so much!! Have a wonderful 2025 and keep the fantastic videos coming!!!!
@@AnonYmous-ry2jnThank you - Happy New Year!
I love these so much! The green and gold ones really do remind me of a sunlit canopy! What a gorgeous way to think of it. Also, I tried to look it up and apparently, although there's no specific word for sunlight passing thru leaves in English, (although "sun-dappled" is commonly used in this way) google says that the Japanese word "komorebi" describes sunlight filtering through trees and leaves.
Today I learned 2 new words... had no idea that "sun-dappled" was an actual thing - thanks! And I do like the sound of "komorebi"... gotta love Japanese !
@@eugenborcan I like these better than the majority of the designs I see on the market. You should be very proud. If I wasn't on such a tight budget right now, you would have a new customer... although probably lucky for me because I don't know how I could choose between the colors. I have to admit tho, seeing the Sunset Forest's green and gold as sunlit leaves, which it really does embody, probably gives it the edge for me. Beautiful work. 😊
@@potatopirate5557 No worries - I appreciate the interest and the kind words . Since no one is really lining up to buy them I am more than sure I will have a few of them lying around for a few months. And if not, I will have more colors coming in the future. I've been a little lazy for the past 2 months and haven't done much. Felt a little burned up and I took a small break from making more pens. Should be back to it half way through January so new colors should come soon... ish 😅.
Looks like the party is here, and I'm glad to support another fine recommendation from Illustrations By Pete! I look forward to seeing what beautiful pens you share!
Thank you for joining the party - hope is your kind of party! I don't have a lot of fancy pens but whatever I have I love using and sharing them. Thank you! ❤

Thank you for joining! Pete is awesome. All the drawing instruments you described are awesome and fun and enjoy them just as much. Thank you! ❤
New subscriber sent by Illustrations by Pete. 👋 😊
Welcome - hope you will enjoy it here. Thank you! ❤
I have the clear demonstrator version of this pen on the way. Thank you for the review!
Thank you for watching - I hope you will enjoy your 601!
That is a beautiful pen. Love the drawing as usual. Nothing wrong with your brain, we just call ourselves different. 😂 Can't wait to see what next year holds for your channel. We need to get you monetized so you can fund this channel from somewhere other than your own pocket. I've thoroughly enjoyed your channel and getting to know you better. We need to figure out something to collaborate on together this next year. Have a wonderful new year my friend! 🎉
Thanks Pete - I'm really happy you enjoyed my silly drawings over the year and I am grateful for your support as well! Never thought about the monetization part... started this channel as a fun thing for me, never looked to grow. Also I am bad at self promoting - is a mental thing. I am more than happy for a colab if you have any ideas - sounds fun to me :). Happy New Year and nothing but the best! ❤
Happy New Year. Be waiting for a new year of reviews and sketches.
Happy new year! :)
FANTASTIC! Looking forward to the new changes that you've got up your sleeves... YEAR NEW HAPPY!!!!👉🙌👈🎊🎉
Thank you and a wonderful Happy New Year - let's hope the new year will be better for all of us! :)
I bought the Ackerman pump pen, but when I pump my ink bubbles, and it very frustrating, is this normal?
I never got their pump pens so I am not sure why you might have those issues. However, the ink should not bubble when you press the pump - it should just push more ink into the feed to allow you to flex the nib for longer period of times. My wild guess is you either not have enough ink in the pen OR there is some sort of an air leak - when you push the pump is also pumping air in. But is just that, I guess. Not 100% sure.
@ well, I thought it was that same reason, not enough ink so I filled it with more ink, but it did the same thing. It could be that it isn’t air tight.
@@patparada44 Could be - seems to be a recuring theme with these pens unfortunately.
This is a pretty pen. Too bad there are so many issues. I do some of my best drawing in the dark when I can't see to critique it. 😂 I enjoyed the drawing. I know it looks like a werewolf but if the eyes were a little more bugged out it would remind me of the monster in Big Trouble in Little China. 😂 Have a Merry Christmas my friend.
As a funny thing, that is one of my favourite movies. Odd thing, I completely forgot about that monster until you mentioned it. I could see the resemblance now. Thanks Pete - Merry Christmas!
@@eugenborcan Me too. I love that movie.
Merry Christmas Mr. Borcan.
Merry Christmas!! ❤🤗 Thank you for sticking around for all these years!
I love the passion, and these are so cool, would love to support and buy one! How or where would I do that?
Thank you very kindly! You can reach me out either on Instagram (link in my profile or via email - eugen.borcan "at" gmail "dot" com
Are you still experiencing leakage with the classic pen and the loose converter at the back?
With the ones that I have? Yes. I haven't gotten any new models and see if they have improved things.
Great drawing! I've a few Kaweco sports - including the plastic piston sport. It does hold more ink than a standard (small) international converter and gallons more than the Kaweco mini converter. I've always found their nibs decent.
Thank you! I noticed they have a new "foldable" converter - the piston folds when fully extended. Curious if that one holds more ink than the regular piston they have.
@@eugenborcan Oh, I have not seen that one yet. So I checked Kaweco's website, 0,47 ml is the capacity for both. I've seen comments elsewhere that the original mini might not fit one of their other pens and they designed this one to fit all their small pens. (Lilliput may be the one with an issue with the original mini converter.). Edit: their Standard International Converter holds 0,82 ml of ink.
@@RJayRoberts Thanks for having a look into it. Now it makes sense. Yes, their mini converter doesn't fit in the Lilliput as far as I remember - when I tried to fit it in mine.
I used to have the AL sport on my list but I just can't deal with the smaller converter. The size works fine for me but this is one of the only pens that I need to post the cap. If they only made a dropper style version so it fit a lot more ink. However, I no longer use Kaweco because of the issue with my favorite pen company, Moonman, who can no longer use their name because of them. I think I learned that from you a couple of years ago. Very nice drawing. Great expressiveness in the face. 👍🏻
Great little thing indeed and I agree, the ink capacity can be a little bit of a bummer. They did lost a lot of respect from a lot of people back then when they went after Moonman but thanks to that we got the titanium RS1 which is an even greater little fountain pen. As always, thanks for watching and your support Pete!
very nice
Thank you!
Nice looking pen. The drawing has a great texture to it. I love how you got that to look. Nice work! 👍
Thanks Pete - appreciated!
Ty for the review. Where did you buy this beauty and what is the brand?
Glad you enjoyed it! If you search zirconium fountain pen on AliExpress you can find them - there is no brand name attached to them. Here is a link that I found - no affiliation: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008167046865.html
Beautiful pen. I like the new format. Enough info and then on to the application. The drawing looks great. Reminds me of a horror movie cover. There's a good story there somewhere. Love how it vignettes into the foreground as well. I try to do things like that on occasion but I'm not always successful. Nice work!
Thanks Pete! I guess this is the case of "a face only a mother would love". I have a few people saying is terrifying. I need someone to start writing stories for my drawings - I'm not the best with words :(. I appreciate the support and always happy to hear you enjoyed it! :)
@@eugenborcan It also reminds me of a King Crimson album cover. I'm sure there is someone out there who could put a story to these creatures. 👍🏻
Oh wow, that is an interesting cover - might spark some ideas in the future. Thanks!
I'm buying one👍
Hope you will like it!
That’s a beautiful pen.
Indeed it is! :)
Oh that is a beautiful pen. Another Moonman, my list is getting too long. 😂 I do love that you show some pen details and any quirks they may have. But the best part is that you show what I want to see and that is how the pen works for drawing. I really enjoyed this character. I'm glad you are enjoying creating these as much as we enjoy watching you create these. Play with the format as much as you need to, to find your groove. It's as much a part of your creativity as the drawing. 👍🏻
Thanks Pete - I am happy to hear you enjoy these creatures. Yep, I am going to focus more on the drawing aspect, not really the "review" part. In the end that is why I am using them (the fountain pens) - to try and create art :).
I really love the looks of that pen. Thank you for sharing your drawings. Hang in there!!!
Thank you!
That is a fun-looking pen. I wish it was a little fatter but that's ok. That's a beautiful black ink also. That paper is definitely not for everyone but I enjoy it. Beautiful drawing. Nice work as always. Put these pages together into a book and you'd have a book of creatures and living objects to baffle the imagination. Complete with aged paper to make it look like an ancient text. 👍
Thank you Pete! I have like a binder where I am storing all these. I'm really curious how far I am going to go with them... so far, really loving it.
Nice sketch. The pen looks like a metallic E95S. I think I'd end up using a cartridge in it and refilling that, if I needed more ink. Nice paper, too.
Yep, they are pretty much in the same family of pocket fountain pens. Yes, most probably an ink cartridge would hold more ink but I do like these converters to be honest. Thank you!
Cool drawing. Looks like its mad LOL.
Thanks - a little .
Do you still have that pen? Do you know if it's possible to eyedrop it?
I still have the pen. Not ideal for eyedroping it - I think it might leak around the barrel window.
@@eugenborcan OK, Thank you! It would be nice if it was made to be able to eyedropped though, with that window. It has ergonomical design.
@@nikossiotas NP - yes, it would be nice with that window. Maybe you can find a way to seal it!? Not sure...
The classic, the og top tier Chinese pen that succeeded where Parker faltered. Love the gold trims of these. I have so many 601s😂😂😂
I thought that was the Hero line? Is WingSung more popular than Hero? The 601s are hard to resist to, I have a few of them as well .
@@eugenborcan I meant the 51 vaccumatic that the 601 succeed and improved upon for a fraction of what the 51 vaccumatic would cost.
@@unknowncrash1 Yep, you are right on that one.
Nice looking pen. I'd be a little concerned of how smooth it is toward the tip but I'd probably get along with it. The drawing was fun. A nice take on a genie monster popping out of a loot box. Nice work!
Yeah, in the end is just a matter of getting use to it. Thanks Pete!
Oh man!!!! That paper kicks ASS!!!! I am looking forward to you using your grail pen upon it fo' sure! 👉🎖👈
That paper definitely has some character to it! Hope you will enjoy the next one as well! :).
